I try
With all my might
To feel something
Because that's what you
Want of me

All my life
I've shut out my feelings
On not just you
But everything

You take it in
Offense, because
To you
I doesn't make sense
For that, I can understand
Why you want me to feel
But it's not who I am

I've never felt happy
Never felt sad
And though I can cry
Are these actual tears
That I shed?

I try as hard as I can
To feel anything
But it's not a switch
In the back of my brain
It's not easy
To feel love or pain

Why can't you see
I'm just an empty shell?
Why won't you accept
That I can't be anything else?
